Where we come from …
Back then
It all started with antique jewellery. Gisela and Detlef Menard founded their undertaking in 1981, offering antique style jewellery to retailers in 1982. The philosophy of their company with the subtitle ”PASSÉ & AKTUELL“ was: While searching for the New, still taking the Old into account.
Today
Still we combine local handcraft, functionality and a unique design to create a piece of high-quality jewellery. Protected clasps and earrings made in Germany are an important complement. Distintive necklaces are the result of a connection between the unique design of clasps and the color variety of the Murano glass beads. Still we hold on to the production sites in Pforzheim and Idar Oberstein where jewellery manufacturing has an outstanding tradition in Germany.
Such as entrepreneurial responsability and sustainability are not new to us but a natural process of a further development for our society and the corporate world to ensure the future ob the upcoming generations. Therefore we mainly use raw materials from sustainable sources as our refinery from Pforzheim exclusively utilizes recylced silver and gold. Also the production site Germany ensures a perfect implementation of working and ecological standard as well as short transport routes. We understand sustainabilty as a holistic concept and challenge to change. Hence we convert also an eco friendly packaging and print material made in Germany as well as carbon neutral shipping.
Where we want to go …
